2 Victims of Identity Theft, 2012 Erika Harrell, Ph.D. and Lynn Langton, Ph.D., BJS Statisticians DECEMBER 2013 United States Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics The U.S. Department of Justice released an insightful study concerning identity theft in December The purpose of the report was to describe the prevalence of identity theft, its victims, and the characteristics and effects of the crime. GIS considers the paper to be the most comprehensive and penetrating statistical analysis provided by a government agency since the dated FTC surveys. Victims of Identity Theft, 2012 uses data generated from the 2012 Identity Theft Supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey. From January to June 2012, the ITS collected data from persons who experienced one or more attempted or successful incidents of identity theft during the 12 months preceding their interview. The research places many aspects of the crime in proper perspective and is considered must reading for anyone interested in the dynamics of identity theft. GIS has attempted to highlight the most germane conclusions in a quick-read, easily understood format. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAPER 7% of persons age 16 or older were victims of identity theft in % of identity theft involved the fraudulent use of existing account information. Victims of new account creation were the most likely to experience financial, credit, and relationship problems. 29% of victims experiencing stolen personal information spent a month or more resolving problems. 36% of victims reported moderate or severe emotional distress as a result of the incident. Direct and indirect losses from identity theft totaled $24.7 billion in 2012.

3 Analysis of Victims of Identity Theft, 2012 Nationwide identity theft victimization in 2012 Approximately 16.6 million persons or 7% of U.S. residents age 16 or older, were victims of one or more incidents of identity theft in 2012 (figure 1). Definition of identity theft victims Identity theft victims are defined as persons age 16 or older who experienced one or more of the following incidents: unauthorized use or attempted use of an existing account, such as a credit or debit card, checking, savings, telephone, online, or insurance account (referred to as fraud or misuse of an existing account). Figure 1 Number of identity theft victims by type of fraud, ,000,000 15,000,000 12,000,000 unauthorized use or attempted use of personal information to open a new account, such as a credit or debit card, telephone, checking, savings, loan, 9,000,000 or mortgage account (referred to as fraud or misuse of a new account). misuse of personal information for a fraudulent purpose, such as getting 6,000,000 medical care, a job, or government benefits; renting an apartment or house; or providing false information to law enforcement when charged with a crime or traffic violation (referred to as fraud or misuse of personal 3,000,000 information). 0 Total identity theft Existing credit card Existing bank account Multiple identity fraud Other existing account New account creation Personal info theft Graphics: Graph created by

4 Figure 2 Proportion of identity theft victims by sex Prevalence of identity theft types or categories For 85% of identity theft victims, the most recent incident involved the unauthorized use of an existing account In The unauthorized misuse or attempted misuse of an existing account was the most common type of identity theft, experienced by 14.0 million persons age 16 or older (figure 3). The majority of victims experienced the fraudulent use of their credit cards or bank accounts. Other victims experienced misuse or attempted misuse of an existing telephone, online, or insurance account. An estimated 683,400 victims reported the fraudulent misuse of their information to open a new account, such as a credit card. Another 622,900 victims reported the misuse of their personal information for other fraudulent purposes. Female 52.3% Sex as a determinant of identity theft Male 47.7% Across all types of identity theft, prevalence rates did not vary significantly by sex. After accounting for whether a person owned a credit card and bank account, prevalence rates for existing credit card and existing banking account misuse did not vary by sex. Note: Estimates are based on the most recent identity theft incident. Includes successful and attempted identity theft in which the victim experienced no loss. Includes the misuse of personal information to open a new account or to commit other fraud. Includes persons identifying as American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian, Hawaiian, or other Pacific Islander.

(figure 4). This relationship also held true for the misuse of an existing credit card account.. However, among persons who had a bank account, there were no significant differences in the prevalence of bank account misuse among whites, blacks, and Hispanics. Hispanic Latino 9.3% 2 or more races 1.6% Other races 5.1% Note: Estimates are based on the most recent identity theft incident.

If young adults, ages 25-to-34 are included, the total victimization rises to 78.3%. This core is bracketed by mature Americans, 65 and older, accounting for 12.9% of identity theft victims in Youngsters ages 18-to-24 accounted for 8.8% of victims. Note: Estimates are based on the most recent identity theft incident. Includes successful and attempted identity theft in which the victim experienced no loss.

After accounting for credit card ownership, persons in the highest income bracket had the highest rate of existing credit card account misuse. Among persons who had a bank account, there were no significant differences in the prevalence of identity theft across income categories, with the exception of the unknown category. >$74, % $25,000 - $49, % $50,000 - $74, % How victims discover identity theft The way victims discovered that their identifying information was misused varied by the type of identity theft. Among victims who experienced the unauthorized use of an existing account, 45% discovered the identity theft when a financial institution contacted them about suspicious activity on their account (figure 7). In comparison, 15% of victims who experienced the misuse of personal information to open a new account or for other fraudulent purposes discovered the incident when a financial institution contacted them. Victims of other types of identity theft were more likely than victims of existing account misuse to discover the incident when another type of company or agency contacted them (21%) or after they received an unpaid bill (13%). Twenty percent of victims of existing account misuse discovered the incident because of fraudulent charges on their account, compared to 8% of victims of other types of identity theft. Note: Estimates are based on the most recent identity theft incident. Includes successful and attempted identity theft in which the victim experienced no loss. Includes the misuse of personal information to open a new account or to commit other fraud. Includes persons identifying as American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian, Hawaiian, or other Pacific Islander.

10 Percentage of incidents with direct and/or indirect losses Mean Loss per Incident RESEARCH SUMMARY Parsing direct and indirect financial losses The economic impact of identity theft is comprised of direct and indirect financial loss. Direct financial loss, the majority of the total loss associated with identity theft, refers to the monetary amount the offender obtained from misusing the victim s account or personal information, including the estimated value of goods, services, or cash obtained. Indirect loss includes any other costs caused by the identity theft, such as legal fees, bounced checks, and other miscellaneous expenses (e.g., postage, phone calls, or notary fees). Figure 8 Average incident loss per identity theft type 80% 70% 74% 68% 67% $9,650 $12,000 $10,000 In 2012, 66% of the 16.6 million victims of identity theft reported a direct financial loss as a result of the identity theft incident. About 68% of credit card fraud victims, 74% of bank fraud victims, 42% of new account fraud victims, and 32% of personal information fraud victims reported that the offender obtained money, goods, or services. Of those victims who experienced multiple types of identity theft, 67% reported a direct financial loss associated with the incident. Of those who reported a direct financial loss, victims who experienced the misuse of their personal information reported a mean direct loss of $9,650. Victims of new account fraud incurred an average loss per incident of $7,135. Victims of multiple types of fraud reported an average direct loss of $2,140, while victims of existing account misuse had an average loss of $1,003 per incident. Total victim losses were $24.7 billion in 2012 Identity theft victims reported a total of $24.7 billion in direct and indirect losses attributed to all incidents of identity theft experienced in These losses exceeded the $14 billion victims lost from all other property crimes (burglary, motor vehicle theft, and theft) measured by the National Crime Victimization Survey in Identity theft losses were over 4 times greater than losses due to stolen money and property in burglaries ($5.2 billion) and theft ($5.7 billion), and eight times the total losses associated with motor vehicle theft ($3.1 billion). 60% 50% 40% 30% $580 Misuse existing bank account $1,435 Misuse existing credit card $2,140 Multiple frauds New account creation Theft of personal information $8,000 $6,000 $4,000 $2,000 Data Source: Bureau of Justice Statistics, National Crime Victimization Survey, Identity Theft Supplement, and Nation Crime Victimization Survey, 2012 Graphics: Graph created by $7,135 42% 32% $0

11 14% of identity theft victims suffered out-of-pocket financial loss In some instances, a company (e.g., credit card or insurance company) may reimburse some or all of the financial loss, reducing or eliminating the out-ofpocket losses for victims. At the time of the interview, 14% of victims of identity theft had experienced personal out-of-pocket financial losses of $1 or more. Of these victims who suffered an out-of-pocket financial loss, 49% had total losses of $99 or less (figure 9). About 18% of victims reported out-of-pocket expenses of $100 to $249. An additional 16% of identity theft victims reported that out-of-pocket expenses of $1,000 or more. Figure 9 Distribution of victim out-of-pocket loss magnitude 50% 40% 48.8% Victims who experienced existing account misuse were the least likely to have credit-related problems 30% In addition to suffering monetary losses, some identity theft victims experienced other financial and legal problems (figure 10). They paid higher interest rates on credit cards, they were turned down for loans or other credit, 20% 17.9% their utilities were turned off, or they were the subject of criminal proceedings. Victims who experienced the misuse of an existing account were generally less likely to experience financial and legal problems as a result of the incident than victims who had other personal information misused. In 2012, 2% of victims of 10% 8.4% 8.5% 9.9% existing account misuse experienced problems with debt collectors, compared to 17% of victims who had personal information misused.

13 Identity theft victims were less likely than violent crime victims to have significant school, work, or relationship problems as a result of the crime The 2012 NCVS asked victims of violent crime (including rape or sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault) about the impact of the victimization on work, school, and personal relationships, and the amount of emotional distress it caused. Compared to violent crime victims surveyed in 2012, a lower percentage of identity theft victims reported significant problems at work or school or with family members or friends due to the incident (figure 11). About 1% of identity theft victims reported significant problems at work or school, compared to 12% of violent crime victims. Similarly, 4% of identity theft victims reported significant problems with family members or friends, compared to 19% of violent crime victims. The percentage of identity theft victims who reported significant problems at work or school as a result of the incident varied by type of identity theft. About 6% of victims who had personal information used to open a new account reported significant problems at work or school, compared to about 1% of victims of existing credit card and bank account misuse. The largest percentage of identity theft victims who had significant problems with family or friends had their personal information used to create new accounts (10%) or for other fraudulent purposes (10%). Severity of distress depends on the type of fraud Identity theft victims (10%) were also less likely than violent crime victims (29%) to report that the victimization was severely distressing (figure 12). However, the level of emotional distress varied by type of identity theft. Thirty-two percent of victims of personal information fraud reported that they found the incident severely distressing, compared to 5% of credit card fraud victims. Twenty-two percent of victims of new account fraud reported that the crime was severely distressing.

Victims of personal information fraud were the most likely to report the incident to police (40%), followed new account fraud victims (23%) and victims of multiple types of identity theft (22%). Fewer than 10% of victims of existing credit card (4%), existing bank account (9%), and other existing account misuse (6%) reported the incident to police. Creation new account Other account misuse 5.8% 23.0% The 91% of identity theft victims who did not report an incident to police offered a variety of reasons for not reporting (appendix table 17). Among all victims who did not report the incident to police, the most common reason was that the victim handled it another way (58%). About a third (29%) of nonreporting victims did not contact police because they suffered no monetary loss. One in five non-reporting victims did not think that the police could help and another 15% did not know how to report the incident to law enforcement.
